The movie is a science fiction drama directed by Iain Softley. The screenplay was written by Charles Leavitt and it was based on Gene Brewer's novel K-PAX.
Dr. Mark Powell: Well, let me introduce myself. I'm-- Prot: Dr. Mark Powell, Chief of Clinical Psychiatry of the Manhattan Psychiatric Institute. Dr. Mark Powell: Good. You know where you are.
Dr. Mark Powell: I'd like to begin by asking you...if you know why you're here. Prot: Of course. You think I'm crazy. Dr. Mark Powell: We prefer the term "ill". Do you think you are ill? Prot: A little homesick, perhaps.
Prot: K-PAX is a planet. But don't worry, I'm not going to leap out of your chest.
Rachel: I spoke with Natalie about going into the after-school program next year,in case I go back to teaching....And this morning my head fell off, but I was able to sew it back on with dental floss. Waxed, of course.
Prot: Every being in the universe knows right from wrong, Mark.
Prot: Let me tell you something, Mark. You humans, most of you, subscribe to this policy of an eye for an eye, a life for a life, which is known throughout the universe for its... stupidity.

Prot: [looking Powell astonished] You humans, sometimes it's hard to imagine how you've made it this far.
Prot: For your information,all beings have the capacity to cure themselves, Mark.
Prot: Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. How many doctors are there on this planet?
Claudia: Patients do not escape from this institution. They don't escape. Dr. Mark Powell: There has been no evidence of escape, but obviously, I've notified the police, social services. Claudia: I'm gonna have a great time explaining this to the state board. I got psychotics on the fourth floor packing up their sneakers because they all think they're going off to K-PAX.
Dr. Mark Powell: You all packed? Ready to go? Prot: Quite ready. I travel light. That's a joke, Mark. You humans. There's just no sense of humor.
Prot: I will admit the possibility that I am Robert Porter, if you will admit the possibility that I am from K-PAX. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a beam of light to catch.
Dr. Mark Powell: Their fortune cookies never had any fortunes in 'em. Rachel: We never needed any. I knew my fortune that night. He was sitting right in front of me.
Prot: The universe will expand, then it will collapse back on itself, and then it will expand again. It will repeat|this process forever. What you don't know is that when the universe expands again, everything will be as it is now. What ever mistakes you make this time around, you will live through on your next pass.Every mistake you make...you will live through...again and again, forever. So my advice to you is to|get it right this time around, because this time...is all you have.
Our visitor Margie is looking for a movie she saw as a kid. Here is her description:
"I am trying to find a TV movie I saw in 1963 -- was a late 50's or very early 60's sci-fi in which Madagascar fish protoplasm is brought to the U.S., escapes and becomes a huge blob that strangles people (and maybe eats them). This is not 'The Blob' with Steve McQueen. Could be Twilight Zone or Outer Limits?"
